Well yes, I know what the Wikipedia article about SH-AWD says. It doesn’t include the information about the newer clutch pack based system that I’m talking about. It’s here in this SAE technical paper (click the Preview Technical Paper button on the right of the page to see) which is linked to in my original link.

How would anyone know how much it costs unless you told them?
I am not someone at Acura, but going off the link I posted, VTM-4, i-VTM4, and SH-AWD from the 2015-up TLX and 2016-up all share the mechanical layout of clutch packs instead of planetary gearsets.
I know you mentioned torque-vectoring, but you may want to say in a little more detail that the awd system which is badged as i-VTM4 on the Pilot is the same as the SH-AWD system in the Acura MDX. It used to be the Pilot had a more basic awd system and the SH-AWD equivalent system is new on the current generation…
Between “dramatic harrumphing” and “mass of guacamole stalagmites” you’re really on a roll with the wordplay lately Torch.
I have a digital tire pressure gauge, does this mean I get a free 911 GT2 RS?
“We’re going to get so much money from the bank for writing a loan with whatever interest rate we feel like, which is probably several points higher than you actually qualify for but we won’t tell you that, so here’s a $1,500 discount. Thanks for stopping in today!”
This post is worth it just for “dramatic harrumphing.”
Ok, to rephrase, all 4x4 Grand Cherokees have awd transfer cases with center eLSDs.

It’s an Eaton EGerodisc limited slip differential. That link has a better explanation than I could paraphrase from it. It’s the standard center differential on all WK and WK2 Grand Cherokees, and the XK Commander.
The comments from the shop on both Instagram and Facebook mention running it in rwd on the dyno but they don’t specify how they do it. The stock WK Grand Cherokee SRT transfer case is awd with a computer-controlled clutch type LSD that transfers up to 50% of the torque to the front wheels. A quick search of forums…
All WK Grand Cherokees have awd transfer cases with center eLSDs.
One very nice thing about the Regal is it has the same GKN Twinster torque vectoring awd system as the Focus RS. No drift mode though.
I don’t mean that ideal condition is the limit of the map. My point was that if a car is tuned by the factory to run on regular, you might get a little extra out of mid-grade on some cars tuned to run on regular. But most stock ECU maps are built with a large safety margin. The majority of cars that run on regular…
No. Cars do not have octane sensors. They have knock sensors. Modern knock sensors can detect micro-detonation and pull the timing back from the maximum value allowed in the ECU’s timing map. If there’s no micro-detonation, there’s no timing being pulled. Whatever minimum octane is required for micro-detonation-free…
Here in Madison, WI the lowest jump from regular to premium at any station is $0.70/gallon. Many stations are at $0.80 or $0.90. The only exception is Costco, which is typically in the $0.40 to $0.45 range. I buy my premium gas at Costco.

Hopefully for his sake that’s a burner number.
